DIY Polaroid Cake Topper
Remember one post back, when I mentioned topping this cake with a fun cake topper? Did you really think I’d leave you guys hanging without a cake topper project…? Absolutely not. Duh. I’m sure most of you happen to have a polaroid camera hanging around. They were all the rage a few years back and…

It’s definitely not a birthday without cake and there was no way I was going to let the blog’s 1/2 birthday slip by without whipping up a little something sweet! But, with a birthday falling during the middle of the week, I opted for a bit of a short cut, instead of trying to make…

I definitely don’t need an excuse to celebrate around here. Hello…my entire blog is based on entertaining, but this week is a special one. It officially marks Let’s Mingle’s 1/2 birthday! 6 months of posting all things confetti, cake, and entertaining related! A bit of a stretch for a celebratory post, yeah probably, but it’s…

It’s FRIDAY! I don’t know about you, but this week has been a doozy for me. Crazy busy schedules, what seems like an endless amount of problems popping up, and various home improvements that all decided now was the perfect time to break down. (Our front door handle was only ONE of the many things…

I’m just keeping the shark week theme going with another fun project for you guys. Again, I’m in total heaven this week and any excuse to turn a shark into something cute and fun is right up my alley. (And yes, I completely realize that sharks are not cute and fun in real life. I’m…

It’s here. It’s finally here! It also happens to be taking a giant bite out of my productivity this week. What am I talking about…? SHARK WEEK, of course! It’s that little week in the Summer when you are glued to your tv in equal parts of both amazement and fear. (Unless that’s just me).…
